  Nintendo will be playing Whack-A-Mole with Yuzu forks and Switch emulators forever.

  I hope these developers can continue to waste Nintendo’s time and money even more.

    Is it really a waste of Nintendo's time and money if they keep winning?

      They keep winning the cases themselves in courts very much rigged in their favor, sure, but for each headline, they risk alienating more gamers who don’t appreciate them bullying comparatively tiny sites who are just providing games that Nintendo themselves refuse to sell.

      Them issuing C&D after C&D costs their legal team time and money they could be using to, idk, trademark new IPs or license third parties for libraries and music. It also hurts their PR.

      They keep paying money for attorneys and court proceedings but don’t get anything in return, since the code is out there and will just be shared again by someone else. Hence: whack-a-mole

      If a new one just pops up going after the previous one was indeed pointless.

      i can go to thousands of places and download yuzu right now. without even trying.

      they are doing nothing but wasting their own time and giving their own brand a poor image in the process.

    A company like Nintendo definitely has a law firm on retainer. They’re paying them whether or not they’re being used. There’s no waste of money happening by going after “IP violations.”

    A waste of time and energy, perhaps. But the lawyers are getting the same money whether they do this or nothing at all.

  Having the keys on their official website to download seems a bit risky.

  When will people learn that GitHub isn’t the place to put code that was previously removed from there?

  Why aren’t Nintendo bothering ryujinx like this?

  • RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Shut up. Don’t give them any more ideas, please.

      They’d be going after them if they thought they could. I’m sure they’ll find a reason eventually.

    Yuzi provided means to grab keys and firmware from a Switch console, which seems to be a big red flag and a reason why Nintendo went after them. Sudachi also has guides and download links for decryption keys and Switch firmware. From what I can see ryujinx only provides some guides on how to get the keys from a Switch but no apparent download links or "shortcuts"

      It’s also suspected that Yuzu was not “clean room” reversed engineered and built on code that they shouldn’t have had access to, which will allow Nintendo to pull down any fork of Yuzu but not Ryujinx.

  Is Sudachi a Yuzu fork?
